Not everyone drives a fast car to be super fast...mercs?! Wish you didn't bring up this comparison, but it's your opinion, but oooh so cliche. Makes me tick sideways... I eat amgs for breakfeast on the autobahn, nothing special about those overpriced sidewinders with a sticker.
oh, btw, i agree with the costs part of the ASP, experienced it first hand lately, now stocking on cr to get it kitted out fully. Indeed, only then it is worth the purchase. Curious what the insurance will be once everything is on it...
